Tip of the week: Why not order some extra tomatoes next week and make up a batch of pasata that you can use on your pizza or pasta dishes It’s just a matter of roasting the tomatoes with some garlic and herbs for an hour. You then put the contents through a sieve into a pot, boil and put into a hot sterilized jar.

Tip of the week: When roasting beetroot always leave the skin and about an inch of the stalk on the beets, this prevents any of the colour from leaching out. This can be removed after cooking.

Marinated Courgettes with Mozzarella

Instructions
  1. Top and tail the courgettes, then cut them lengthwise into 1mm-thick slices. Put them in a bowl with two tablespoons of oil and use a pastry brush to coat them lightly all over.
  2. Heat a large nonstick frying pan on a high heat. Working in batches, sear the courgettes for two minutes on each side, until tender and golden, and transfer to a shallow dish.
  3. Take the pan off the heat and leave to cool down a bit. Add the rest of the oil, the garlic and the lemon zest, and heat very gently for a few minutes (the residual heat in the pan may be enough: you just want to take the raw edge off the garlic and infuse the flavours into the oil). Pour over the courgettes.
  4. Season, squeeze over a little lemon juice and add the mint or basil. Toss, cover and leave for an hour at room temperature.
  5.  Strew with torn strips of mozzarella and serve with good bread or, better still, warm pitta.
Ingredients

  • 4 medium courgettes (about 500g) - use yellow and green if you have them
  • 5 tbsp extra-virgin olive or rapeseed oil
  • 1 large clove garlic, peeled and cut into thin slivers
  • Grated zest of 1 lemon, plus a little juice
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp shredded mint or basil
  • 1 ball buffalo mozzarella (or another mild, soft cheese)
